Three-year change is published by the Ministry of Education: the difference in percentage points between the 2024–2025 and 2022–2023 assessments. Each assessment is written by a different group of students, and at a school this size a single grade is a few dozen students, so a few points can reflect who wrote it rather than a change at the school. EQAO does not report a result where fewer than 10 students wrote.

Results are the percentage of students who met or exceeded the provincial standard, as published by the Ministry of Education. A dash means no result was published for that year: EQAO does not report a result where fewer than 10 students wrote. No provincial assessment ran in 2019-20 or 2020-21, so those years are blank for every school and are never joined across.

How does St Nicholas Catholic Elementary School compare to other Waterloo elementary schools?
On the 2024–2025 EQAO assessments, 66% of St Nicholas Catholic Elementary School students met the provincial standard (composite) — higher than 3 of the 24 other Waterloo elementary schools with published results.

How should I read the EQAO results for St Nicholas Catholic Elementary School?
EQAO results show the percentage of students who met or exceeded the provincial standard on each assessment, shown alongside the Waterloo elementary average for context. They are provided for information only and are not a ranking of school quality — academic outcomes are just one of many factors families may wish to consider.

Open the Compare tool to line up St Nicholas Catholic Elementary School against up to three other schools — EQAO results, grades, board and catchment status side by side.
Does living in St Nicholas Catholic Elementary School's catchment guarantee a spot?
Not automatically. Falling inside the attendance boundary is the basis for enrolment, but it is not an absolute guarantee — placement still depends on school capacity, program availability such as French Immersion, and board policy. Always confirm current school boundaries and registration directly with Waterloo CDSB.
